10 Steps To Get Your Garden Ready for Spring
It’s that special time again, the season that gardeners look forward to… spring! The warm afternoons are longer and the flowers are just about to burst into beautiful colours. If you’ve been laying low throughout winter, spring preparation is the perfect opportunity to get out and into your garden.
Spring Garden Tidy Checklist
The long wait is over, it’s every gardener’s favourite season! Spring is just around the corner and if you’re anything like us, you’re probably itching to start on your garden soon. But before you dive headfirst into yard work, load up on tips and tricks to make your gardening experience far easier this season.
Summer Garden And Lawn Care: Summer Gardening Tips
The Aussie summer season can be hard on your garden. The harsh summer sun affects soil moisture, leading to plants drying. Then there are the occasional storms that bring pouring rain. But summer is also the most productive time for plenty of plants (such as flowering plants or leafy greens).
How To Welcome Your New Furry Friend Into The Family
There are few things as exciting and nerve-racking as welcoming a new furry friend into the family. They bring in a lot of joy and cuteness, but you’ll need to prepare beforehand! There’s a lot involved in caring for a new pet, and you’ll want to make sure you’re ready.
Saving the Fraser Fir
ADD THIS TO the “Things I Didn’t Know” file…and by the way, merry Christmas. One of the most popular holiday trees of all, the Fraser fir, is under threat in the wild, even though 50 million-plus of them are grown on tree farms in North Carolina alone. So how can that be?
D.I.Y. Terrariums as Gifts
I’M EYEING A vintage glass cookie jar I haven’t used in years, and a big glass snifter, too, that’s been sitting idle on a shelf in the sideboard for ages. And I’m thinking terrariums—and I’m thinking holiday centerpiece, or maybe a gift or two.
Reading the Garden’s Layers with an Eye to Enhanced Design, with David Culp
DESIGNER DAVID CULP sees the garden in layers. But not just the most obvious landscape ones most of us do—meaning the canopy, the shrub layer and ground-covering plants. His view of the garden is more like 3D chess and then some: layers of color, texture, shape, and even the layer of time. He’s here to offer us advice for looking at our garden’s many aspects with an eye to strengthening the overall impact.
Traditional Plants, Traditional Practices: ‘The Heirloom Gardener,’ with John Forti
WHEN I SAW NEWS of a popular new garden book called “The Heirloom Gardener,” I thought it would be about growing vegetables or flowers of old-time, open-pollinated varieties maybe. You know: of heirlooms. But John Forti’s latest book is about much more, about not just traditional plants, but traditional practices, too, that serve to connect us to the environment and to one another.
Monocots: A Geeky Theme for Collecting Plants
I want to talk about monocotyledons,” he said, using the unabbreviated name of one of the two groups that all flowering plants fit into, the other being dicots. And so we did. And yes, it’s geeky, but also a lot more revealing than you’d imagine–and a hint that seemingly esoteric facts like the taxonomic relationships between plants can make for fun themes for a plant collection, or even a concept for a bed or border or display of grouped containers.
Native Shrubs and Small Trees
I’M ALWAYS LOOKING for more places to tuck native plantings. My current mission is along my property edges, where I’m adding a more complex layer of shrubs and small trees adjacent to the big old canopy-level ones to increase habitat for beneficial insects and birds, in particular.
